Nursing, Suffrage, and Social Advocacy.

The article explores the history of suffrage movements among women which have been associated with the development of modern nursing in the U.S. It states that nurse activists and militant suffragists have been credited for the passage of the 19th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution which extended the right to vote to women. It mentions that American women exercised the right to vote for the first time on the election day in 1920.

The movement of women into the public and political spheres had been gaining in momentum and popularity since the mid-19th century.  On March 3, 1913 five thousand women, sporting purple, violet, and gold banners, had united under the leadership of suffragist Alice Paul to march through Washington in demand for their right to vote.  By the 1910s woman suffrage had become a mass movement, where society could not just turn a blind eye to the matter at hand. It was time for a change in our society and  these brave women believed, and felt that it was their duty to stand up and fight for what is right, our rights.

I chose this podcast, for I feel that the podcast explains about the 19th Amendment. Last year the 19th Amendment celebrated it's 91st birthday, and Prof. Wiesner-Hanks offers a historical and global  perspective on feminism, and discusses how the struggle for equality continues today.

Here are a few You Tube videos.  I found these that some other students made and posted on the web.

The Beginning

Good day, my name is Beth Johnson. I am a student at North Central Texas College, Graham Campus. I have chose to do my blog on the 19th Amendment, for I feel that every female needs to learn and understand the trials and tributes that past females had to endure so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we now have in our time. I feel that with out this understanding someone can not truly respect our ways of life. The fight for the 19th Amendment brought about great change not just for our country but also helped open the door for other countries in the world. We as a human race have the right to be equal no matter what our race, sex, or creed.
